For months we've known Sega's Thor and Captain America games were coming to the Nintendo 3DS. We just didn't know when. Today the publisher announced release dates for both titles.

Thor: God of Thunder will hit the 3DS on September 13, 2011 while Captain America: Super Soldier arrives on October 25, 2011. Thor 3DS is being developed by Red Fly, the developers of the Thor Wii game. Captain America 3DS is being handled by High Voltage, the studio responsible for the Wii version of Super Soldier.

Both games are effectively ports of their Wii counterparts, though touchscreen functionality is being added. Visually the two titles are said to be very similar to the previous releases of the games.
